Sing-a-thon: Guinness World Record disqualifies Afua Asantewaa’s record attempt

 

Afua Asantewaa completed her first singing marathon at 126 hours and 52 minutes on December 29, 2023 aiming to break the current record by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian who sang for 105 hours in 2012.

 

Afua further submitted evidence of her singing attempt to Guinness World Records on January 6, 2024.

 

The Guinness World Records (GWR) responded to Afua Asantewaa’s attempt to break the record for the longest singing marathon by an individual.

 

In a tweet responding to a comment enquiring about her attempt, the GWR said “unfortunately, Afua’s Guinness World Record attempt for the longest singing marathon was not successful but we hope that she will make another attempt soon.”

 

The GWR also noted that the evidence check already begun before Afua requested priority service hence her earlier payment has been refunded.

 

“We wish Afua the best of luck with any future record attempts,” the GWR noted in a tweet on February 23.
